Opening statements expected Tuesday in Sidney Moorer re-trial

HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD/WBTW) – Opening statements are set to begin Tuesday morning in the re-trial for Sidney Moorer in the 2013 disappearance of Heather Elvis. This trial is for the kidnapping and conspiracy charge – something that previously ended in a hung jury back in 2016.

Moorer is currently serving
10-years for obstructing justice in the case after the state claimed he
stalled the Elvis investigation by lying to police.

In October 2018, a jury found Moorer’s wife, Tammy Moorer,
guilty of conspiracy to commit kidnapping and kidnapping in Elvis’
disappearance. A judge sentenced her to 30 years on each charge, but those
sentences will run concurrently.
